He has been charged with one count of sexual assault, one count of mischief, and one count of breach of probation in relation to an incident that occurred in the area of Loretta and Young streets.

Between April 14 and May 7, a series of sexual assaults in the downtown area saw a male approach women from behind and pull down their pants.

The investigation continues.

Griffiths appeared in court Thursday and was remanded in custody. He will make a video court appearance on May 15.
